I really enjoyed this. So much range on the album and I think it toes the 'gimmicky' line very well. Fun record with lots of genuine quality.

I enjoyed listening to this record, it's one you can really kick back to, and I got the feeling it was the kind of sound you hear sitting around a firepit with an acoustic guitar. It felt warm. I also think the approach to lyric writing is interesting, certain tracks like 'Micheline' feel like I'm being narrated the artist's diary.

I found this really hard to rate because it's pretty stripped back and simple, and yet it's so joyful. It says a lot without saying all that much. Pretty much exactly what I was expecting knowing only his big cover. Thought the Country Roads cover was particularly endearing.

Have really enjoyed this record, I feel like I should be skipping along a beach.

I often think Fun Prog Rock is a difficult genre to really master, there's always the risk that the album sounds really goofy. I think this album is a really good example of how to do it right.

A really solid album with a great sound from start to finish.

Enjoyed the title track a lot, it was a really interesting idea, and I liked the concept of the album, Akala's vision, and the sound. It absolutely stands out, but even still, I didn't feel as though it hit me in the way I was expecting it to? I don't know how else to describe it except that I didn't think 'wow' afterwards, even though I'd been enjoying it throughout.

I think my overriding feeling with this album is that it felt quite disjointed and jumpy. I quite like an album where the setting is clear, that's very immersive to me, whereas with this although you get immersion to some degree it was very difficult for me to settle into it. But then every now and then something just worked, I couldn't quite decide why, and then before I knew it we were jumping around again. This did get less and less true as the album continued but I couldn't shake that when I started listening again I still felt the same about the early tracks.

More Boa magic

I thought this album rocked, it has a really infectious energy and charm. In terms of sound, I think it was like a mixture of Hall and Oates and The Cult. Driving and fun is a great combination, especially topped off with a big single and a well-constructed album, what more could you want?
